+ parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS
+ Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks
+ performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to
+ allow for @substitited@ stuff. This however ends up allowing
+ quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real
+ practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow
+ @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear
+ error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected
+ behaviors in the generated Makefile.in.
+ * automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular
+ expression ...
+ (is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine. Don't allow
+ generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for
+ `@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances).
+ * tests/test-extensions.test: Adjust and extend. This test does
+ not cause any internal error in automake anymore now.

+ tests: fix spurious failure in 'insthook.test'
+ * tests/insthook.test (Makefile.am): Add a proper `uninstall-hook'
+ target to remove the symlink created by the `install-exec-hook'
+ target; this prevents "make distcheck" from failing spuriously.
+ Since we are at it, delete an extra blank line, and add a trailing
+ `:' command.

+
+ maintcheck: fix spurious failure
+ * lib/am/distdir.am: Use `$(infodir)', not `${infodir}', to avoid
+ complaints from the `sc_no_brace_variable_expansions' maintainer
+ check.

+
+ tests: fix spurious error in 'test-extensions.test'
+ * tests/test-extensions.test: Call automake with the option
+ `--add-missing', to ensure the required script `test-driver'
+ gets installed. Note that the test still fails due to an
+ internal error in automake, though.

+ tests: avoid few useless uses of the `-e' make option
+ * tests/python12.test: Using `make -e' is not required to override
+ the DESTDIR variable, since this variable shouldn't be defined in
+ any automake-generated Makefile.in file.
+ * tests/man2.test: Likewise.
+ * tests/man5.test: Likewise.

fix: make a test script executable
* tests/nobase-nodist.test: Make executable.
